This is a discussion on Wagons and upgraded stereo.... within the Interior Mods forums, part of the Tech & Modifying & General Repairs category; I will be taking ownership of a new '03 WRX Wagon this weekend. My question is....
Does anyone have pix ...

I built a custom subwoofer box with 3/4" medium density firbreboard. The box fits directly behind the rear seat and takes up the entire 60% portion of the 60/40 split rear seat. As such, I can still fold down the 40% portion of the seat. The rear surface of the box has a few velcro strips attached which grabs onto the carpet backing on the seat. I can also fold down the 60% seat portion and the sub will move with it. Or, I can easily un-attach the velcro and move the sub for instances when I need extra cargo space. This design saves the spare tire and the storage compartment underneath the floor panel. Note that the floor panel can be opened and closed and is not interfered with by the sub box. I have fitted the box with a single 10" Polk which sounds great. The sub and the 4 corner speakers are all powered by a single Alpine 5 channel amp which fits well under neath the passenger seat. I'f anyone is interested in this design, I have a full size blue print with all the meanurements and angles. Let me know and I can send it to you. Also, during my first attempt at this project I built a similar box which fits on the 40% portion of the rear seat. When I got done I realized that the box volume was too small to handle a 10" speaker. This box can accomodate a 6" sub. If anyone wants it I'll be glad to give it to you.

The box I built should be able to hold any 10 or 12 inch sub. I have a real job and thus don't need to build boxes for a living. By the way, this box took a lot of time to build because there are almost no right angles to it.
